Romantic France… what shall I say – another of my favorite European countries. But why? It’s because of its diversity.
I love how you start your road trip in the giant city of Paris, make a day trip to learn about Champagne production and taste some samples, and then drive down to enjoy the breathtaking French Alps and the highest European mountain – Mt. Blanc.
Only after a few hours of driving will you reach the stunning French Riviera with some of the best beaches, delicious food, and beautiful Provence with its lavender fields.
It has so much to offer. I’ve visited France many times as I’ve been guiding US travel groups from Paris to the French Riviera as a tour manager.
Besides, I’ve explored a lot of the country by myself and keep reporting the best places to visit to you in my articles.
